"Never ever do ______ with ______"
Hope you see why this is utterly wrong.
Generalizations about country/etymology shouldn't qualify to be up-voted in HN, please.
I don't mind when people use bad words or flu as long as I can emphatically or technically understand why and the location allows it. In this sense I can feel and understand why Mr. Koch got upset.
I think he should've put the generalizations into Pandora's Box, because the internet is a public space that never forgets.
The victim's explanations are usually generalizations and overreactions, in rare cases I've seen people reacting accordingly. It's part of being gentle to react accordingly, we know it's hard to apply. You can be harsh when the situation requires it. That said, I'm sure there are better ways to "fight" for your right and the money. I agree that this looks like it's not worth the effort, but you will not know this for sure unless you try it. As long as all you loose is time, you can tell that you're enriched by another experience that will guide you in your next project into a better management.
(I'm not an Indian and my opinions aren't set in stone.)
One last word: Trust what your feeling tells you. If your customer replies after months you know you've a bad customer, even before the project starts.
- masklinn 15y ago> Generalizations about country/etymology shouldn't qualify to be up-voted in HN, please. What country? (and what does etymology have to do with the whole mess?) He said not to do business with a private company, ranted at lengths on the subject and clearly explained that the issue was solely HR/business and that his relations with the engineering side had been nothing but good? What generalization are you talking about? > The victim's explanations are usually generalizations and overreactions, in rare cases I've seen people reacting accordingly. Considering PPK's history of not being a sanguine lad, the mere fact that they got him to react to such length, on a former business partner, is a huge red flag with warning sirens. > You can be harsh when the situation requires it. I'm guessing he thought the situation did require it. > As long as all you loose is time, you can tell that you're enriched by another experience that will guide you in your next project into a better management. You're joking right?
- jobu 15y agoTotally agree. This article is e-drama and definitely not what want to see on HackerNews. Unfortunately the title caught my eye, and I read most of it. (hard to not watch a trainwreck)
